When you choose Cone Health, you’ll appreciate the knowledgeable guidance of a nurse navigator who coordinates your care and makes sure you understand what to expect at each appointment.

Cancer Genetics Counseling & Testing

If you have a family history of cancer, a genetic counselor at Cone Health Cancer Center can help you decide whether to take a genetic test that could reveal whether you inherited an altered gene that increases the risk of developing cancer.

You’ll review your family medical history as well as discuss the benefits, drawbacks and limitations of genetic testing. If you choose to take a genetic test, you’ll return for a follow-up appointment to learn your results and discuss any recommended preventive care or screenings.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with cancer, knowing whether you carry an altered gene may help your doctor better target your treatments.
